<p>@Gumbo - Yeah, I just saw the Twitter photo, too. It's still very weird to me that the ad placement not only overlays the "metro" blue stripe but also bears the name of the Vermont town instead of Portland. Oh well, what can you do?</p>

<p>HUGE apologies to Michelle Lampron - - corroborating evidence has been supplied by a fellow Portland area MB and she is now credited with the "official" first sighting report. This concludes the Kommunity's coverage of #MythicalUSA coverage for 2018 as Maine is the 50th #gmm billboard located.</p>

<p>You're right, the ad placement does seem fishy. Consider it ruled out.</p>
<p>The Rhett &amp; Link social accounts now hint that the Maine billboard is on a bus and provide a map-based hint, as well.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yes, still a mystery. I was able to locate pics of the Portland, ME city bus line, definitely named Metro, and it matches exactly the color scheme and "Clean Natural Gas" scheme. My only guess is that someone at either MYTHICAL INC. or the advertising company sent the wrong image or instruction to the Portland authority.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Meanwhile, searching for "<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>THE CURRENT</strong></span>" bus lines that serve Windsor County (VT) where the community of Wilder* is located I couldn't find that exact paint scheme, but there are some similar colors. It could possibly just be an older bus still in the fleet.</span></p>
